Laura, 500 block of North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, IL

Sometimes I diligently write down someone's email, and then I just can't find it. That is what happened with this young lady, but [hopefully] I remembered a few details correctly— #1 her bike is a custom rebuild fromLugs.I'm convinced the folks over a lugs are as interested in people looking good on bikes as I am, so mad props! I'll be hitting them up when I can throw down some cash for a custom rebuild. # 2. Her name was Laura and she was headed north.Sorry for loosing your email Laura. Please comment if you see this and have anything to add.*** Side note: There is cause for celebration today— Chicago is getting a protected bike lane near my office! I have been patiently watching the construction of the Dearborn protected bike laneand I'm excited to go for a test ride. I'll be spending lunch here so come by and celebrate!

Martha, I remember when I got a bike lane by my place here in Philly, my life changed! I used to take the longer/hilly road to grad school and often regretted it, but then they built a buffered bike lane all the way across Center City only a block away from my place and it was heaven! Enjoy the new bike lane.

On a separate note, my next bike needs to be yellow!!!! My two current bikes are black—boring! I'm looking to replace my current city riding bike and I think yellow is the way to go!
